The Interview
The medium you like best for an interview, print, radio, or television.
Interviews are held, generally, as per convenience of the celebrity. The interviewer goes to the place of the celebrity, takes the interview which is shot, and later telecasts for people or puts on air (by radio) or prints in a newspaper.
The best medium for an interview is television. Here the spectator can see the whole process of interviewing - its functionings, its methods, and its merits which, generally, vary considerably. The way the questions are put, the way the answers are given, the way the escapes of the celebrity are caught and made to extract as much as possible. It really teaches the technique to the spectators.
The life history, the secret of huge success of the celebrity, any allegation or criticism about or any such thing of public, social, state or national interest is brought before the spectator more reliably than the print or the air media.
The impressions, the gestures and even the impact of each side become alive in picture form before the spectators. Therefore, we generally enjoy the interviews more on television than either on print or radio. It brings us face to face with the truth and the reality of things.
